THIRD REPORT 

OF THE 

UNITED STATES BOARD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 


ORIGIN AND HISTORY OF THE BOARD. 

The United States Board on Geographic Names was created by an 
Executive order issued by President Harrison September 4, 1890. 
Prior to that date there was an unofficial organization, composed of 
ten persons, all employed in the public service, all engaged in geo¬ 
graphic work, and all keenly sensitive to the confusion and contradic¬ 
tions in geographic names as used in Government publications. 

Originally the Board was composed of ten members. Its present 
membership is thirteen, of whom two were original members. The 
membership, past and present, together with Departments, bureaus, 
offices, and institutions represented, is set forth in the following table:

Mr. T. C. Mendenhall was chairman from the creation of the Board 
in 1890 until his departure from Washington in June, 1894, since 
which time Mr. Gannett has tilled this position, except for the period 
from October 1, 1902, to October 14, 1903, when Major Lusk acted 
as chairman. Mr. Clover served as secretary from the beginning 
until October 6, 1891, and Mr. Baker from that date until his death, 
December 12, 1903. Mr. A. H. Allen acted as secretary from Janu¬ 
ary 6, 1904, to April 6, 1904, when Mr. C. S. Sloane was elected 
secretary. 

The Board has decided 5,133 cases. It has also, after an examina¬ 
tion of the disputed cases, approved a certain form of spelling for the 
names of the counties of the United States, numbering 2,876. 

Shortly after the organization of the Board it was called upon to 
decide several hundred cases of disputed names in Alaska, where the 
nomenclature derived from native, Russian, Spanish, and English 
sources was, as it still to some extent is, in great confusion. The 
cases submitted were decided. It was seen, however, that nothing 
short of a complete revision of all the names would satisfactorily 
remove the existing confusion. This was made, and issued in 1901 as 
Bulletin 187 of the Geological Survey, entitled “ Geographic Diction¬ 
ary of Alaska,” which is now being revised. 

ORIGIN OF AND CHANGES IN GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 

YV ith the exception of the names of political subdivisions, geographic 
names in this country have not, as a rule, been bestowed by any formal 
authority. The names of natural features—rivers, lakes, mountains, 
capes, etc.—and of unchartered bodies of population have received 
their names originally from explorers, surveyors, and early settlers, 
and these names have been perpetuated by common consent. The 
names of states, counties, and municipalities of all classes, on the 




























REPORT OF BOARD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 


13 


other hand, have been applied either by legislative enactment or char¬ 
ter, and therefore possess some degree of formal authority. 

Differences of usage exist to a large extent, not onty in the names 
of natural features and unincorporated places, but even in those of 
organized bodies of population whose names have been bestowed by 
formal authority. These differences have originated in numerous 
ways. 

In the unsettled parts of the country different exploring expeditions, 
ignoring the work of their predecessors, have given new names to 
features already named. As elsewhere noted this difficulty has often 
occurred in Alaska, which has been visited in recent years by numer¬ 
ous expeditions. 

The transliteration of Indian names has everywhere been a fruitful 
source of differences in spelling, inasmuch as no two persons under¬ 
stand alike or render into the same English characters the obscure 
sounds of Indian names. 

It often happens in the case of the larger geographic features, such 
as extended mountain ranges, rivers, etc., that different names have 
been applied locally in various parts and these names have become 
well settled in usage. 

It frequently happens that railroads adopt names for their stations 
different from those of the towns or villages in which they are situated 
and thus divide usage. To a much greater extent, however, than the 
railroads has the Post Office Department confused the nomenclature 
of the smaller towns and villages by attaching names to the post offices 
not in accordance with those in local usage. Indeed, an examination 
shows that there are in this country thousands of cases where the name 
of the post office does not conform to the local name of the place in 
which it is situated. These differences are very confusing to those 
using the postal service, and it seems desirable to reduce their number 
so far as practicable, at the same time recognizing the necessity of 
having no post office name duplicated in a state. 

By far the greater number of differences in usage, however, have 
their origin in carelessness or ignorance on the part of those making 
use of the names. Such errors appearing in print are frequently per¬ 
petuated, especially in popular works, and often supplant the original 
name in usage. 

Originating in these diversities of spelling there is distinctly trace¬ 
able a development of geographic nomenclature which is, on the whole, 
proceeding in a beneficial direction. Its tendency is toward the dis¬ 
carding of objectionable names and the adoption of pleasing ones, and 
toward the simplification and abbreviation of names, particularly as 
shown in the dropping of silent letters. The Board, recognizing this 
course of development, deems it to be within its power to guide it, 
and even to forestall it, so far as its future course may be foreseen. 


14 REPORT OF BOARD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 

The extent to which geographic names have been modified without 
being radically changed is scarcely appreciated. A large proportion, 
pro'bably a majority, of the names of natural features have undergone 
alterations in spelling to a greater or less extent since they were first 
applied, while of the names of political divisions, although established 
by formal act, a considerable proportion have also changed, and such 
variations have, in thousands of cases, become firmly established. 
Therefore, the position assumed by some persons, that we should revert 
to the original forms of names, would, if carried out, result in changing 
the names of a large proportion of our natural and artificial features. 

POLICY OF THE BOARD. 

The Board is agreed that in general the name which is in common 
local use at present should be adopted. This is a broad, general 
principle, and summarizes the policy of the Board, with the excep¬ 
tion of certain classes of names. It covers cases of changes or cor¬ 
ruptions of names, except where the} r are considered to be unworthy 
of perpetuation. 

The Board clearly recognizes that the importance and value of its 
decisions depend upon their general adoption. To change corrupted 
forms back to pure forms, after the corrupted form has been estab¬ 
lished, is to make a decision which will not be followed. Such deci¬ 
sions are not merely useless; they are positively harmful. The}^ tend 
not to settle, but to unsettle usage. To restore such names as Port 
Townsend to Port Townshend, Pysht to Psyche, Ozan to Aux anes, 
Low Freight to L’eau frais, Sitka to Shitka, Possum to Opossum, is 
not always possible, however desirable. The aim, therefore, of the 
Board is to discover and support by its decisions the forms in use in 
all cases, except those where specific and positive objections thereto 
are found to exist. That it should always succeed in this aim is obvi¬ 
ously impossible. Changes are constantly occurring. The Board can 
not if it would, and would not if it could, oppose change. 

The difficulties encountered in carrying out this principle are found 
mainly in determining what is the established usage, or the prevailing 
local practice where it is divided between different forms. Where it 
is so divided, opportunity is afforded for the selection of the more 
appropriate and euphonious of the names in use. 

The Board considers it desirable to depart from local usage in certain 
cases in order to effect reforms in nomenclature. Among these depar¬ 
tures approved by the Board are the following: 

(a) The avoidance, so far as seems practicable, of the possessive 
form of names. 

(b) The dropping of the final 44 h” in the termination 44 burgh.” 

( c ) The abbreviation of “borough” to 44 boro.” 


REPORT OF BOARD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 


15 


(d) The spelling of the word “center” as here given. 

{e) The discontinuance of the use of hyphens in connecting parts of 
names. 

(f) The omission, wherever practicable, of the letters “C. H.” 
(Court-House) after the names of county seats. 

(g) The simplification of names consisting of more than one word by 
their combination into one word. 

(ft) The avoidance of the use of diacritic characters. 

(i) The dropping of the words “city ” and “town ” as parts of names. 

All of these changes are warranted b}^ the direction of development. 
The possessive form of name is rapidly disappearing, except in rare 
cases where good reason exists for its retention. In most cases this 
is effected by dropping the apostrophe and the final “s.” In certain 
cases, however, usage or euphony appears to require the retention of 
the final “s,” when the apostrophe only, is dropped. 

Concerning the termination “burg” or “burgh,” as Pittsburg, an 
extensive correspondence has developed the fact that in more than 
three-fourths of the places having this termination the final “h”is 
not in local use. The case of the termination “boro” or “borough,” 
as Attleboro, is very similar. The present tendency is strongly 
toward the substitution of the abbreviated form. The Board, there¬ 
fore, deems it advisable to induce uniformity in this matter in the 
manner indicated. 

In the case of the word “center” as part of a name, as Mansfield 
Center, Center Rutland, usage appears to be about equally divided 
between “center” and “centre,” and the Board has adopted the first 
of the above forms of the word. 

Hyphens in connecting parts of names appear to be useless, while 
they add to the complexity of the spelling. 

The practice of adding the letters “C. H.,” meaning Court-House, 
to the name of a county seat is prevalent, especially in the Southern 
states. Frequently the place has two names, one being its charter 
name, the other the name of the county with “C. H.” appended; thus 
the county seat of Raleigh county, W. Va., is known as Beckley and 
as Raleigh C. H. 

The tendency toward simplification is in no way shown more decid¬ 
edly than in the combination of the several words forming a name. 
Thus “La Fayette” has become well nigh universally “Lafayette,” 
and “El Dorado” has become “Eldorado.” The Board approves this 
tendency and will further it so far as possible without forestalling 
usage too greatly. 

The use of diacritic characters in geographic names in the United 
States, such as the German umlaut and the Spanish tilde, is rapidly 
disappearing. It would be impossible, even were it desirable, to oppose 
this change.

REPORT OF BOARD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 


The practice of adding the word “city” or “town,” as Boise City, 
Drummondtown, as a part of the name is a useless complication, 
growing in most cases out of an optimistic spirit on the part of the 
promoters of the place. It is often misleading and almost invariably 
unnecessary. 

There are in Alaska a good many names of Russian origin ending in 
OBB, which terminating syllable has been variously rendered of, off, 
ow, and ov. The Board uniformly uses of. Examples: Baranof, 
Chichagof, Popof, and Shelikof. 

Outside of the United States, where the Department of State and 
United States Hydrographic Office are chiefly interested, the work of 
the Board is directed to the harmonization of American usage in geo¬ 
graphic nomenclature with the usage of the great map making nations— 
England, Germany, and France. The Department of State, by reason 
of its diplomatic and consular, functions, is intimately concerned with 
the present style, change of names, transfers of territorial jurisdiction, 
cession and acquisition of territory by various governments abroad, 
and the proper forms of the titular political nomenclature of foreign 
states and nations. The interest of the Hydrographic Office is involved 
by reason of its publication of charts and sailing directions of all for¬ 
eign waters, to the effective use of which uniformity of geographic 
nomenclature is obviously indispensable. The forms of foreign names 
recommended for adoption are determined on consultation of estab¬ 
lished usage, the best authorities upon ethnological and political his¬ 
tory and derivation, and current geographic and political information 
from authentic sources. 

Many names in foreign civilized countries present a peculiar diffi¬ 
culty and appear to require that a further exception be made to the 
general principle of following local usage. This lies in the fact that 
many foreign names have been anglicized, and the anglicized form, 
often quite different from the local form (meaning by local form that 
in use by the best authorities in the country having jurisdiction), is 
well established in usage in this country. 

Such cases wherein English speaking nations use names differing 
from those locally accepted are not numerous, but they are among 
those most in use and represent the most prominent features of the 
earth; for instance, we call Deutschland Germany, Espana Spain, 
Livorno Leghorn. In many cases we translate the foreign name, if it 
is capable of translation, into English words. Other countries, in turn, 
treat the names of this country in a similar manner. Indeed, most 
non-English speaking people translate the name of this country into 
their own tongue, forgetting that geographic names, like personal 
names, should not be translated. 

It is unquestionably desirable and proper that local usage should be 


REPORT OF BOARD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 


17 


followed in these cases as well as in others, i. e., that the home names 
should be the ones universally used; but in most of these cases it is 
obviously impracticable to introduce this reform, at least at present. 
The people of the United States can not be induced to change from 
Germany to Deutschland, or even from Italy to Italia, or The Hague to 
’s Gravenhage. It is a reform, however, to which we may look for¬ 
ward and work toward and which may be attained in the future. 

It is understood by the Board that our charts of the coasts of foreign 
countries using Homan characters, made for the use of our Navy and 
merchant marine, generally require the use of the local forms of these 
names, while on the other hand popular usage in this country, espe¬ 
cially in our atlases and text-books, requires the anglicized form. 
The Board practically leaves this matter on the same footing as here¬ 
tofore, approving the use of local spelling of foreign names upon our 
charts and the anglicized forms upon maps designed for use in this 
country. It hopes, however, that the way may be open in the near 
future to the adoption throughout, of the local and the rejection of the 
anglicized forms. In such specific cases as have been brought to its 
attention it has decided uniformly in favor of the local method. 

Most of the nations of Europe, either through national boards or 
geographic societies, are engaged in the regulation of the orthography 
of geographic names. Their attention has been particularly directed 
toward producing uniformity in the transliteration of aboriginal names 
written in characters other than Roman. These nations have prac¬ 
tically agreed upon a system of transliteration, which, with one or two 
exceptions, has been adopted by this Board, thus coming into practical 
agreement in this matter with the rest of the civilized world. 

SCOPE OF ITS FUNCTIONS. 

From the wording of the Executive order creating the Board it 
has uniformly maintained that its function is limited to the consider¬ 
ation of names as to which there is diverse usage. Under the Execu¬ 
tive order of January 23, 1906, there was added to the duties of the 
Board, the duty of determining, changing, and fixing place names 
within the United States and insular possessions. It does not give 
names to features, though frequently called upon to do so. It does 
not, though frequently appealed to, deal with the question of pro¬ 
nunciation. It does not determine the generic character of the feature 
whose name is in dispute. It does not determine whether a stream is 
a creek or river; whether a body of water is a lake or pond; whether 
an elevated tract is a hill or mountain. 

The Board does not attempt wholesale reformation of corrupted 
names nor seek to restore original forms or pure forms, nor does it 
attach much importance to priority. It would be idle to attempt to

now introduce New Amsterdam for New York, Lake Frontenac for 
Lake Ontario, Cat Lake for Lake Erie, Ouisconsin for Wisconsin, 
Ojibway for Chippewa, Konza for Kansas, or Ke-kan-ma-suk-sepe for 
Kalamazoo. Whatever diverse usage may be found in print, what¬ 
ever departures from or corruptions of old forms are involved in such 
names, any attempt to restore first forms would not contribute to 
establishing uniform usage. These old names are of interest to the 
antiquarian and scholar, but a stumbling block in the path of the man 
of affairs who wants to know the name now and how it should be 
spelled. As a rule, names are dealt with individually. If it appears 
that present practice is fairly consistent or established as to any name, 
that form is, in general, adopted. 

All the foregoing are things which the Board does not do. What 
it actually does is to consider, one by one, names brought to its atten¬ 
tion as disputed. This dispute or discrepant use ma} 7 exist in print or 
in speech, or in both. The Board, collecting all the facts deemed perti¬ 
nent in each case, sifts them, weighs them, and decides what the name 
is and how the Executive Departments are to spell it. Under authority 
of the Executive order of January 23, 1906, the Board will control the 
place names of the country as far as Government usage is concerned. 
It will discard such as are objectionable, replacing them with appro¬ 
priate names. It will publish and promulgate principles for the 
guidance of explorers and surveyors in the selection of suitable names. 
Jt will examine and decide upon names proposed for newly-discovered 
and unnamed features, and accept or reject those proposed. Its deci¬ 
sions are the 44 standard authority ” for these Departments. If they 
are followed by the newspapers, the schools, the publishers, dictionary 
makers, and private map makers, a long step has been taken toward 
securing the uniformity so much to be desired. 

There are three counties in the United States bearing the Indian 
nam'e Pottawatomie, one each in Kansas and Oklahoma written Potta¬ 
watomie, and one in Iowa spelled Pottawattamie. The Board deems 
it desirable that the spelling of these names should be uniform, but it 
finds here 44 no unsettled question concerning geographic names” to 
be considered. 

Similarly, five counties, a large city, a river, a mountain range, and 
various minor features bear the name Allegany. The word is spelled 
in three ways, each well established and thus not coming within the 
scope of the Board’s functions. New York and Maryland each has 
an Allegany county; North Carolina and Virginia an Alleghany county, 
and Pennsylvania an Allegheny county. As to these respective counties 
the Board finds no diversity of usage and accepts the forms it finds. 
In the case of the river and mountains it finds diverse usage, and for 
these has adopted the form Allegheny. 


REPORT OF BOARD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 


19 


Three counties and ten post offices in the United States bear the 
name*Vermilion. The Board in this case spells the name Vermilion, 
irrespective of local usage, which is in some cases Vermillion, deem¬ 
ing the change so trifling and the gain in uniformity so great as to 
warrant this course. 

The dropping of the “h” at the end of the termination “burg” has 
been uniformly followed by the Board, even where, as in some cases, 
this decision has conflicted with local usage. Thus it writes Lunen¬ 
burg, Mecklenburg, Orangeburg, Spartanburg, Vanderburg, and 
Williamsburg as the names of counties in Virginia, Indiana, North 
Carolina, and South Carolina. 

Puerto Rico, meaning rich port , is the Spanish name of one of the 
West Indies acquired by the United States in 1898. In 1891 the Board 
adopted this form, conforming to the invariable local usage of that 
time and also to the practice of the country having jurisdiction. An 
act of Congress approved April 12, 1900, has established the form 
Porto Rico as the name of the island. 

HOW DECISIONS ARE MADE. 

Cases brought to the Board for decision are at once referred to the 
executive committee for examination and report. This committee 
examines each case, consulting printed authorities, such as mother 
maps, gazetteers, local historians, atlases, etc. Especially does it seek 
after, and it generally obtains, the local usage, to which it attaches 
great importance. Local usage is usualty obtained by correspondence 
with county clerks, postmasters, and residents who are conversant 
with local conditions. This information derived from correspondence 
is often supplemented by the oral testimony of individuals having per¬ 
sonal knowledge of the name under consideration. The information 
needful for deciding may be obtained quickly, within a day or two, or 
it may take months. When the executive committee is satisfied, it 
tabulates the results on cards, which are printed blanks whereon spaces 
are left for entering various items of information. When all the data 
are tabulated the members of the executive committee record their 
preferences, signing their initials. Thus there is a record vote of the 
executive committee. The cards so prepared are submitted to the 
Board at its regular monthly meetings, and considered one by one. 
Usually the executive committee agrees on its recommendations. 
Not infrequently, however, there is a divided report. The case being 
submitted to the Board, a vote is taken, and a majority, not of those 
present, but of the whole Board, is necessary to decide. The decision so 
reached is written at the top of the card, which is thereupon stamped 
Approved , with the date of the approval. Usually, from one to several 
cases at each meeting, are by the Board sent back to the committee for

Such is the present practice of the Board, gradually developed as the 
outcome of experience. The principles which govern decisions were 
at the outset considered and formulated with great painstaking and care. 
They were the subjects of many and earnest discussions, and it is a mat¬ 
ter on which the Board congratulates itself that these principles so 
elaborated and adopted have so well stood the test of usage. While 
experience has improved practice in the Board’s operations, it has con¬ 
tributed practically nothing in the way of principles. 

PRINCIPLES FOR SPECIAL APPLICATION IN THE UNITED STATES. 

It must be understood that these are not designed as rules , but as 
guiding principles , from which the Board reserves liberty to depart 
whenever, in its judgment, it deems it advisable to do so. 

Euphonious and suitable names of Indian, Spanish, or French origin 
should be retained. 

Names suggested by peculiarities of the topographic features desig¬ 
nated—such as their form, vegetation, or animal life—are generally 
acceptable, but duplication of names, especially within one state, 
should be avoided. The names “Elk,” “Beaver,” “Cottonwood,” 
and “Bald” are altogether too numerous. 

Names of living persons should be applied very rarely, and only 
those of great eminence should be thus honored. No personal names 
should be attached because of relationship, friendship, or personal 
interest, nor should names of obscure persons be given. Names of 
eminent men now dead may be thus perpetuated, particularly those of 
early explorers, naturalists, geologists, topographers, etc. 

Long and clumsily constructed names and names composed of two 
or more words should be avoided. It is a foregone conclusion that 
such names will not be adopted by the public. If the name selected 


















REPORT OF BOARD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 


21 


consists of more than one word the words should be combined if 
practicable. 

The multiplication of names for different parts of the same feature, 
such as a river or mountain range, should be avoided. Only one name 
should be applied to a stream or mountain range throughout its entire 
length; in the case of a river the name should follow up its longest 
branch. 

The naming of forks, prongs, branches, etc., as “East Fork” or 
“North Prong” of a river, should be avoided unless there is a special 
reason for it. In most cases, independent names should be given to a 
river’s branches. 

That spelling and pronunciation which is sanctioned by local usage 
should, in general, be adopted. 

Where names have been changed or corrupted, and such changes or 
corruptions have become established by local usage, it is not usually 
advisable to attempt to restore the original form. 

In cases where what was evidently originally the same word appears 
with various spellings sanctioned by local usage, when applied to 
various features, these various spellings should be regarded as in 
effect different names, and, as a rule, it is inadvisable to attempt to 
produce uniformity. 

Where a choice is offered between two or more names for the same 
place or locality, all sanctioned by local usage, that which is most 
appropriate and euphonious should be adopted. 

The possessive form should be avoided whenever it can be done 
without destroying the euphonj' of the name or changing its descrip¬ 
tive application. 

In names ending in “burgh” the final “h” should be dropped. 

Names ending in “ borough” should be abbreviated to “boro.” 

The word “center,” as a part of a name, should be spelled as above, 
and not “centre.” 

The use of hyphens in connecting parts of names should be dis 
continued. 

The letters “C. II.” (Court-House) appended to the names of county 
seats should be omitted. 

In the case of names consisting of more than one word it is some¬ 
times desirable to combine them into one word. 

It is desirable to avoid the use of diacritic characters. 

It is desirable to avoid the use of the words city and town as parts 
of names. 

PRINCIPLES FOR SPECIAL APPLICATION IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. 

(1) Geographic names in countries that use Roman characters should 
be rendered in the form adopted by the country having jurisdiction, 
except where there are English equivalents already fixed by usage. 
In cases where the English equivalent is so different from the local 


22 


REPORT OF BOARD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 


form that the identity of the latter with the former might not be recog¬ 
nized, the English form should be adopted, but both forms may be 
given. 

(2) The spelling of geographic names that require transliteration 
into Roman characters should represent the principal sounds of the 
word as pronounced in the native tongue, in accordance with the 
sounds of the letters in the following system. 

An approximation only to the true sound is aimed at in this system. 
The vowels are to be pronounced as in Italian and on the Continent of 
Europe generally, and the consonants as in English: 


a has the sound of a in father. Examples: Java, Banana, Somali, Bari, 
e has the sound of e in men. Examples: Tel el Kebir, Medina, Peru, 
i has the sound of i in ravine, or the sound of ee in beet. Examples: Fiji, Hindi, 
o has the sound of o in mote. 

u has the sound of oo in boot. Examples: Umnak, Unga. 
ai has the sound of i in ice. Example: Shanghai, 
au has the sound of ow in how. Example: Hankow, 
ao is slightly different from above. Example: Nanao. 

ei has the sound of the two Italian vowels, but is frequently slurred over, when 
it is scarcely distinguishable from ey in the English they. Examples: 
Beirut, Beilul. 

c is always soft, and has nearly the sound of s; hard c is given by k. Example: 
Celebes. 

ch. is always soft, as in church. Example: Chingchin. 
f as in English; ph should not be used for this sound. Thus, not Haiphong, 
but Haifong. 

g is always hard (soft g is given by j). Example: Galapagos, 
h is always pronounced when inserted. 

j as in English; dj should never be put for this sound. Examples: Japan, 
Jinchuen. 

k as in English. It should always be used for the hard c. Thus, not Corea, 
but Korea. 

kh has the sound of the oriental gutteral. Example: Khan, 
gh. is another gutteral, as in the Turkish: Dagh, Ghazi. 
ng has two slightly different sounds, as in finger, singer, 
q should never be employed; qu is given by kw. Example: Kwangtung. 
b, d, 

1, m, 

n, p, 


r, s, 
t, v, 


as in English. 


w, x, 
and 

z 

y is always a consonant, as in yard, and should not be used for the vowel i. 
Thus, not Mikindany, but Mikindani. 

All vowels are shortened in sound by doubling the following consonant. 

Examples: Yarra, Tanna, Jidda, Bonni. 

Doubling a vowel is only necessary where there is a distinct repetition of the 
single sound. Example: Nuulua. 

Accents should not, generally, be used; but where there is a very decided 
emphatic syllable or stress which affects the sound of the word it should 
be marked by an acute accent. Examples: Tongatdbu, Galdpagos, Paldwan, 
Sardwak. 



REPORT OF BOARD ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES. 


23 


In order to secure uniformity in so far as possible in the matter of 
transliteration of Chinese place names and in order that the system 
adopted may conform to what is apparently to be the standard in 
American publications, it is recommended that the following rules be 
adopted for observance, viz: 

(1) The spelling generally shall follow the Wade system, but no 
attempt shall be made to modify established foreign local usage, and 
the English form of a name as printed in the Imperial Maritime Cus¬ 
toms Trade Reports shall be conclusive as to local usage. 

(2) The diacritical marks used in the Wade system shall be omitted. 

(3) Names shall be printed as single words. 

(4) Forms sanctioned by long usage in standard publications in the 
English language shall be retained. 

CONCLUSION. 

The Board again respectfully calls attention to the fact that it is 
without means for carrying on its work, save by the courtesy of the 
bureaus, offices, and institutions represented in its membership. It is 
without direct means for printing or distributing its decisions. It is 
without means for meeting the calls that are made upon it for publica¬ 
tions, for information, and for decisions. Its progress has, therefore, 
been slow, and might, indeed, have ceased altogether had not the calls 
made upon it—unceasingly made—attested a real need for some such 
agency or institution. To facilitate its work in the future it has 
adopted the resolutions contained in the letter of transmittal on page 5 
of this report.

Disappointment; cape at mouth of Co¬

Note.— On the 6th of July, 1778, Meares, in 
the ship Nootka, arrived off the cape and found 
that a “prodigious easterly swell rolled on the 
shore,” and he had soundings in 16 fathoms 
over a hard, sandy bottom. “After we had 
rounded the promontory, a large bay, as we 
had imagined, opened to our view, that bore a 


very promising appearance and into which we 
steered, with every encouraging expectation. 
As we steered into the bay the water shoaled to 
9, 8, and 7 fathoms, where breakers were seen 
right ahead, and from the masthead they were 
observed to extend across the bay. We there¬ 
fore hauled out.” The name Cape Disappoint¬ 
ment was given to the promontory. It was 
called Cape Hancock by Gray, in 1792. He 
changed this name to Cape Disappointment 
upon hearing that Meares had so named it. 
Cape Disappointment retained by Vancouver, 
by Belcher in 1839, and by Ex. Ex. in 1841. 
Duflot de Mofras, 1844, calls it Cape San Roque 
or Disappointment. It was called Cape Han¬ 
cock or Disappointment at the first examination 
of the entrance to the river, in 1850, and the 
name Hancock, subsequently, in a secondary 
manner in the Light-House List, but the name 
Disappointment is that used on the official 
charts and by all navigators .—Pacific Coast

been expressed to substitute the name of Rog¬ 
ers, in honor of Prof. W. B. Rogers, formerly the 
State geologist of Virginia, and a pioneer in 
the study of the geology of that State. This 
decision is based on the grounds, first, that the 
name Elliott Knob is well established, and, 
second, that a mountain peak in Virginia near 
the North Carolina line has already been 
named in honor of Professor Rogers.

Haiti; island, West Indies. 

Note. —Haiti was the native name of the 
island when Columbus landed, on December 6, 
1492, and called it Espagnola, which was lat¬ 
inized into Hispaniola. The French colony 
which gained control of a part of the island 
was called Saint Domingue, and in 1795, when 
France acquired title to the entire island by 
treaty with Spain, it was called Saint Domin¬ 
gue; but when the French were driven out 
and independence declared, in 1804, the aborig- | 
inal name Haiti was revived by the negroes. 
Shortly after this the Spaniards reestablished 
themselves in the eastern part of the island, 
retaining the French name modified to Santo 
Domingo, but in 1821 lost control, and from 1822 
to 1843 the whole island was under one govern¬ 
ment as the Republic of Haiti. In 1844 the 
eastern portion of the island again asserted its 
independence of Haiti and established the 
Dominican Republic, which remains to the 
present day. 

Thus to-day the island of Haiti, which seems 
to be the proper name, consists of two coun¬ 
tries, Haiti on the west end and Santo Domingo 
on the east end. R. C.
